Had This Exact Argument With A Friend The Other Day - Tumblr Posts

Sometimes I find it great that I have low/no empathy and "doesn't care" that much about people since I don't have to spend energy trying to manage feeling other people's emotions and use said energy to do something actually substantial, such as actually fucking helping said person

Sometimes it's just... kind of horrible... Everyone expects you to have a "normal" amount of empathy and puts words into your mouth about how you're supposed to "feel other people's emotions" and "feel grief over other people's suffering" or else you're a "bad" person. Like yeah, I am helping this person because if I have to hear them complain one more time I'll fucking lose it, but I still helped them. Does that make me a bad person? No, get a fucking grip
